Review originally posted on Ctrl, Alt, Books!
Aversion is a young adult novel with hints of romance and urban fantasy. It was a delightful, quick read. It sort of ends in a cliff hanger and I will be continuing the series because I need to know how it all ends. In this first part of the series we find out that there are people with powers to alter people’s fate by making them avoid an event in their life. Gemma completes her first aversion only for Russ to start talking to her and try to be her friend.
Gemma is a not so normal teenager. She keeps to herself, never making any lasting friendships. She doesn’t realize it but she’s special, even in the world of mentalists, she has unique powers. Since this is the first book in the series, it doesn’t dive too deeply as to what Gemma’s powers might be. I’m excited to continue the series and see where this story takes us.
This is a very short read and some might be able to get through it in one sitting. I feel it is a better value to get the box set that was released not too long ago. I did enjoy this young adult story because it was entertaining and interesting. I loved the world that the author created and I’d recommend reading this series. Keep an eye out because I will definitely be continuing the Mentalist series!
4/5
